All We Need To Know Lyrics by Chris Smither

Hundred Dollar Valentine

2012

[Verse 1]
If a ring were
On a finger
As a sample of the symbols on display
Indications
Of inclinations
The leanings of desire to point the way
There is a moment on the shoulder of the wheel
As it descends while rolling forward in a line
When we feel a sense of speed
Way past anything we need
And it builds a grand illusion of design
[Verse 2]
We are falling
That's the calling
Of a body rolling rings around the moon
Curves of heaven
Serve to deafen all the nerves
To earnest plеadings for an ending to the tune
But it's thе motion that we wish we didn't feel
It seems to have a purpose all its own
And it will not answer will
It will never come to fill
That hollow certainty: we will always be alone
[Verse 3]
We get a season never long
Don't believe in siren's songs
Promises of answers shining clear
Don't spend it on your knees
Asking someone, "Won't you please
Give me a reason, a hint why I am here?"
You're here because this is where you are
When you're not here, you won't wonder what it's for
It's all we need to know
All the rest is just for show
And the show don't really matter anymore
The show don't really matter anymore
